Authors of legal scholarship in criminology and criminal justice journals
Rowe, B., McCann, W. S., & Hemmens, C. (2018). The invisible scholar: Authors of legal scholarship in criminology and criminal justice journals. Journal of Criminal Justice Education, 29(4), 551-576. https://doi.org/10.1080/10511253.2018.1426776
This study assesses the authorship of legal scholarship within 20 criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) journals from 2005 to 2015, examining trends over time and variation across journals in the prevalence of sole-authorship and the mean number of authors and identifying the most prolific authors of legal scholarship published in CCJ journals. The study thus sheds light on the extent of collaboration among CCJ legal scholars and identifies CCJ legal scholars who have remained largely invisible due to their focus on a marginalized subfield.
